Mortimer and Cooke, top writers of British television sitcoms, have turned their delightful sense of humour loose on the stage. This uproarious, slightly naughty comedy is about two authors of sitcoms who are stuck for a new idea. By a neatly contrived accident, each man finds himself getting drunk with the other man’s wife. Macho man Charles Summerskill winds up with a beautiful but hopelessly inept partner, who is so artless in the kitchen that she burns salad; whereas wimpy Arthur Grey finds himself with a prim and proper expert chef. Charles ends up with indigestion while Arthur eats well but is left frustrated. Eventually, work forces Charles and Arthur together again, and they decide to create a new show based on the recent upheaval in their private lives.
This cleverly written play is by two experienced sit com writers who bring all their insider knowledge to this very witty farce, which the Civic Players are presenting at the Swan Theatre, Yeovil from 3rd to 6th June 2026, with performances starting at 7.45pm. Tickets are £12 each, with a special ‘Two for £20’ offer for the 3rd June performance, and are available now!
